She may be one of the earliest resort settlers of the Seminyak area, but grand dame The Oberoi hasn’t lost any of her elegant lustre.
Consistently raking in many an ‘Asia’s Best’ list, The Oberoi channels Bali’s cultural heritage, traditional design elements, stellar service and natural beauty to create an experience that leaves guests with no question as to where they’ve just visited.
Rooms and villas pack in carved teak furnishings, local artefacts, thatched roofing and tropical textiles alongside myriad mod cons including satellite flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, complimentary WiFi, and delicious sunken baths overlooking courtyards privés. And for those feeling flush, private pool villas up the ante with rainforest gardens, sunbeds and, of course, your own secluded plunge to whip ’em off and dive on into. Take breakfast under the swaying palms at Frangipani Café, go global at Kura Kura, or hit Kayu bar for sundowners before taking in a twice-weekly dance performance at the on-site Amphitheatre. Goodness, it all sounds so tiring, doesn’t it? Best zip to the deluxe spa for a barrage of rejuvenating holistic treats. Oberoi, you’ve still got it!
